Jekyll and Hyde, I'm telling you. She was always a good kid - kind, gentle, repsonsible, helpful. Now? It's gotten ugly around here. She's stealing (junk food, money, toys from her brothers), she's lying about the stealing as well as less significant things, and she's started dressing up A LOT. I mean lipgloss, jewelry, 3-5 outfits a day, and spending an hour in the bathroom in the morning.
As if that isn't enough, I talk to her about these things and she glares at me. Seriously. Come to think of it, she has been a little more emotional lately too. She says she stays up too late reading, and she's feeling whiny these days.
What is going on with her?
No, there is nothing going on in her life that I can identify. no divorce. No bullies. No bad influence friends. School's out for the summer. She's usually home with me all day, and her best friend practically lives here. She's not lonely.
Anybody have a 9 year old daughter that's kinda freaking you out a little?
